ENJOY THE SHOW

"The tradition for Bond is always real stunts, real action, real explosions… So the ultimate goal is the visceral excitement you can only get from live stunts." Eon has unveiled the newest video blog focused on the action in Spectre, the 24th Bond movie, directed by Sam Mendes, starring Daniel Craig as James Bond. The footage in this is very unique, as it shows us an advance look at some of the action set pieces in this, set at three different locations all over the world. And it's always awesome to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse because it's so impressive and amazing to see them actually pulling off these stunts and filming it all perfectly with a huge crew at the same time. I can't wait! Fire up the new vlog on Spectre's action below.

The latest video blog for James Bond's Spectre has hit the web on 007.com. This time the video profiles the opening scene of Spectre being filmed in Mexico City. The opening takes place during the Day of the Dead, and thousands of extras were utilized to create the complete experience for the production. "I wanted the audience to be dropped right into the middle of a very, very specific, very heady, rich environment. It's the Day of the Dead, everywhere you look there's colour and detail and life. We've built floats and maquettes, the costumes are extraordinary and the craftsmanship is amazing," Sam Mendes said. Daniel Craig stars as Agent 007, but he's nowhere to be seen in this video blog. Stay tuned for more updates on Spectre soon.

"I love the idea of this fantastic car being in this sort of one-on-one battle with another incredible car." The latest behind-the-scenes video blog from Eon Productions for James Bond's Spectre features an early look at the epic car chase filmed in Rome, Italy. In this scene, Dave Bautista plays Mr. Hinx who has engaged in a night-time car chase with 007, played by Daniel Craig. We also get a bit of director Sam Mendes talking about how excited he was to film this sequence, and a look at the various Aston Martin cars that are a part of the production. It's a very short tease, with barely a glimpse at one of the many scenes in the film. I'm already crazy excited for this. The two cars are Bond’s Aston Martin DB10 and Mr. Hinx's Jaguar C-X75.

One last recap of another Hall H presentation at Comic-Con - this time for Warner Bros, who brought quite a show with big screens and big footage. Not only did they kick things off with a very special, short, but exciting tease for Zack Snyder's Batman v. Superman, they continued with a very nostalgic discussion about The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies moderated by Stephen Colbert, and a look at Jupiter Ascending and the big breakout of Comic-Con 2014: George Miller's long-awaited returned Mad Max: Fury Road. Everything about this Comic-Con panel was impressive and compelling, and we had to take a moment to talk about everything on Saturday night after emerging from Hall H. Check it out below.

Another year, another Comic-Con, another exciting Marvel Studios panel to end three days of madness. This time it was the return of the Avengers. A few years ago, Marvel brought the entire Avengers cast down to Comic-Con and it was a historic reveal to have them all there, all on stage, for the fans to scream cheer at. This year they tried to do that again, bringing most of the cast from Joss Whedon's follow-up Avengers: Age of Ultron. Whedon couldn't make it, but they did show us footage from Avengers 2 as well as another promo reel for Peyton Reed's Ant-Man made specifically for Comic-Con. After exiting the panel we took a moment to record a quick video blog with our thoughts and reactions to all the footage we saw today. Enjoy.

As always, there are a number of films that deserve to break out from film festivals. I am returning this week from the Berlin Film Festival, aka Berlinale, in Germany where I caught 10 films in total (full list/recap here). While I enjoyed pretty much every last one, my friend Steve Weintraub (aka Frosty) from Collider and I decided to meet up and record a quick video blog, which we haven't done in a while, discussing four films in particular: Bong Joon-ho's Snowpiercer, Jack O'Connell in Irish thriller '71, Eskil Vogt's Norwegian drama Blind and of course The Grand Budapest Hotel. This is a good one, so fire it up below and enjoy.

The second installment of The Hobbit trilogy is in theaters now, and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug certainly stepped up the game from the flawed beginning An Unexpected Journey. And to close out the year, Peter Jackson has revealed his final production video blog for 2013. This last look at the making of The Hobbit sequel takes a look at the powerful score from Howard Shore, composer of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Academy Award winning composer talks about the mystery and darkness of this score, and how it shares qualities with The Two Towers. As always, it's a cool look behind the scenes. Watch it!

"Anddd, roll!" He's back! With the release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug just around the corner, Peter Jackson has debuted the latest production video blog, #13, for the cinematic trilogy. This follows the 12th video blog which arrived back in November, showing the process behind shooting pick-up scenes. This time around we find out why Peter says shooting parts of The Hobbit is "just like I used to do in the old days, at home, on Super 8 camera," and explore more of the cast and crew putting finishing touches on The Desolation of Smaug. We also meet Stephen Fry as the Master of Laketown, plus plenty of others.

"Where are your Avengers now?" What a day! Yes, this video blog is being posted a whole week late (our apologies) but it's worth a quick watch if you want to remember the epicness at Comic-Con last Saturday evening. After watching the big Marvel Studios panel in Hall H at Comic-Con 2013 last week, Ethan and I recorded a video blog about our thoughts on all that happened: from the Loki intro and Thor 2 footage, to the Captain America: Winter Soldier footage, to the Guardians of the Galaxy cast reveal and footage and finally the Age of Ultron announcement. It was an exciting panel and we had a lot to say about all that went down, so even though this is old it's still fun/funny to hear us geek out in our Marvel SDCC 2013 video blog.

"What's the last thing you remember…" Time for us to return to the glory days of Bryan Singer's X-Men and X2. One of the major panels in Hall H today that will be remembered for years was our formal introduction to X-Men: Days of Future Past, the new Bryan Singer movie out next summer reuniting the new First Class and old X-Men casts for one big time travel comic book movie. We got a look at the first footage ever revealed and they also brought the entire cast, and I mean the entire cast, on stage at Comic-Con. It looks incredible, I haven't been this excited for an X-Men movie since X2. "Please - we need you to hope again."

"Dead or alive, you're coming with me." We just finished the big Sony Hall H panel at Comic-Con 2013, which included major presentations for a few of their big upcoming projects. First, they showed us footage from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, which looks as fun as the first one. But the biggest reveals included our first look at any footage from Jose Padilha's RoboCop remake with Joel Kinnaman, and Marc Webb's sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2, starring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spidey. While we still have another day of Hall H panels, the Spider-Man 2 footage is the best Hall H footage I've seen so far.

"If you succeed, you will be remembered as a hero." Is it looking better? The first major panel of Comic-Con 2013 where brand new footage was debuted was hosted by Summit Entertainment. The studio, now owned by Lionsgate, brought in two sci-fi adaptations - Divergent, directed by Neil Burger, and Ender's Game, directed by Gavin Hood. How was the footage? Let's get into the discussion. Comic-Con is all about bringing in the kind of footage that blows us away, even if it's raw without effects, though that wasn't the case with Ender's Game - which looks better and better every month. Divergent, on the other hand, didn't impress.
